Alexandra

 

Alexandra: Why won't you get married?

Denis:I won't say.Out of respect for you.

 Alexandra: Out of respect?

Denis: Yes. Out of respect, Alexandra Nikolaevna. Ever since I was little, I remember that at home, everyone toed the line: you obeyed Grandpa, my mother obeyed you...It seemed normal. But even as a kid, I felt oppressed by it. Not to mention your daughter... my mother. She was clearly ashamed of your lack of tact, yours and Grandpa's. I can do without affection, but your daughter still can't.

Denis: Can you imagine a Caucasian son or grandson telling his mother he's a person in his own right and isn't tied to her? (...) Women always bear every burden.Without leaving any for anyone else.
